Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Recommended preventive screenings include a digital rectal examination of the prostate and prostate-specific antigen test starting at age 50. CA 125 blood tests are indicated for women at high risk for ovarian cancer. Patients over the age of 65 need to have complete eye examinations yearly. Colonoscopy every 10 years is recommended in patients 50 years of age and older.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Patients who are Chinese American often believe that examination of the external genitalia is offensive. Before proceeding with the examination, the nurse first determines how the patient feels about the procedure and explains the procedure to answer any questions and to help the patient feel comfortable with the assessment. Once the patient is ready to have her external genitalia examined, the nurse places the patient in the lithotomy position and drapes the patient appropriately. Typically, nurses ask adolescents if they want a parent present during the examination. The patient in this question is 25 years old; asking if she would like her mother to be present is inappropriate.
